Friends, Please take the time to contact Senators Brown and Voinovich, your local Representative to Congress, and Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) this week.

Merkley and Corker are leading the charge to derail HR 1207 (303 co-sponsors) and S604 (33 co-sponsors), our long fought for legislation to provide for the first comprehensive audit of the Federal Reserve System in its 96 year existence. They are certainly acting on behalf of the Big Banks and The Fed, who have recently been panicking about the threat of a transparent audit of U.S. monetary policy (the printing and distribution of trillions of new dollars through various mechanisms) and their relationship and deal-making with foreign governments and foreign central banks, something that neither we nor Congress is privy to.
Merkley and Corker today introduced the "Federal Reserve Accountability Act", an alternative Fed Audit bill, in an attempt to erase S604. It is a watered down audit of only the TARP funds and other high profile bailouts, excluding all other Fed functions and actions from audit...just what the Big Banks, The Fed, and Big Government lovers want. After all, if they want the unending money spigot to remain open to fund gargantuan government and their cronies in the Big Banks, they cannot have the public looking into their books.
I need all of you to ask your membership to call our politicians in Washington this week. Tell them that the time is now for the American people and Congress to fully see and understand the actions of the Federal Reserve with regards to monetary policy, the details of the bailouts, and all agreements or commitments to foreign central banks and governments. Our financial future and our national sovereignty are at stake. We will accept nothing less than a comprehensive, transparent audit of all Federal Reserve functions.
If there is nothing to hide, then there is nothing for them to worry about. We and Congress do not want to take over monetary policy, but we deserve to know where we are headed, what is happening to our dollar, and whether anyone is selling us out to foreign interests.

Please also call your personal rep to the US House...here's a few for the Cincinnati area :
Rep. Jean Schmidt : http://www.house.gov/schmidt/ (202)225-3164 OR 791-0381
Rep. Steve Driehaus : http://driehaus.house.gov/ (202) 225-2216 OR 684-2723
Rep. Michael Turner : http://turner.house.gov/ (202) 225-6465
Action Plan:
1. Call your Senators Brown and Voinovich and tell them that you want them to co-sponsor S604 (33 cosponsors), and you will not accept the Merkley-Corker watered down Fed Audit. Supporters of a watered down audit are bought and paid for by the Financial Services Industry, and we plan to remove such individuals from the Senate by supporting their opponents financially and through the grass roots activism that we specialize in.
2. Call your Representative to the House and tell them that their continued support of HR 1207 is appreciated (all local Reps have co-sponsored HR 1207 except Driehaus...big time contributions from the Financial Services Industry this year) and we insist that they demand that HR 1207 be passed immediately in full, without compromise. Tell Driehaus to get on board if he believes in transparency and cares about his constituents' finacial future, if he is your Rep.
3. Call Corker and Merkley and tell them that their bill is unnecessary and an obvious attempt to provide cover for the Fed, and that 75% of Americans want a comprehensive audit of the Fed, according to the most recent polls. Tell them that if they fight against a comprehensive Fed Audit, then we'll fight against their re-election with all our energy and money.
Thanks to all of you in advance for your help in distributing the message. Bad "Trojan Horse" bill announced today, fight back tomorrow for what is good and right. That's how it should be done.
In Liberty...
